  The SAP error message PPEDI_CMPID009 indicates that a specific material (denoted as &1) is currently locked by a user (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in the context of production planning or inventory management when a user is trying to access or modify a material that is already being edited or processed by another user.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The material is locked by another user who is currently performing an operation on it, such as editing its master data, creating a production order, or processing a transaction.
  System Locking: The system may have automatically locked the material due to a transaction that is in progress, which prevents other users from making changes until the transaction is completed.
  Long-running Transactions: If a user has a long-running transaction, it can lead to locks that prevent others from accessing the material.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, wait for the other user to complete their transaction and then try again.
  Identify the Locking User: Use transaction SM12 (Display and Delete Locks) to identify the user who has locked the material. You can search for the material number and see which user is holding the lock.
  Contact the Locking User: If possible, contact the user who has locked the material to understand if they can release the lock or if they are still working on it.
  Release the Lock: If the locking user is unavailable and you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock in transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the material.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs can also lock materials. Check transaction SM37 to see if there are any jobs running that might be causing the lock.
